CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Background to the Study
Teachers are considered to be our nation builders. The strength of every profession in our country grows out of the knowledge and skills that teachers help to impact in our children. Educators frequently share that teaching is the most difficult job that anyone can have and the most rewarding. Students spend most of their day with teachers, and schools spend most of their money on teachers. Education is a teacher-driven business. Teachers play an important role in educating the future members of society through their work in schools. The quality of education system and the profession of educators within the system depend mainly on teacher who are responsible for guiding and carrying most of the important tasks and activities in educational institution. Teachers play a significant role in supporting and promoting learning in the class. They are instrumental in transferring learning material to children at their understandable level. Teachers are always under pressure as their accountable to their performance and student performance.
Many studies have shown that quality of teachers, their motivation and attitude influence the performance of the students and their academic achievement. This however, requires a lot of commitment and from the teacher. Commitment means being loyal to ones profession. It requires acquisition of the special knowledge that characterizes a particular profession and application of that knowledge to achieve certain ends. This makes a provision for better job security, satisfaction, increases self-esteem and thereby contributes to improve the teachers’ commitment. Teacher should have commitment to the teaching profession and should justify public trust and confidence by providing quality education to all students. Maintain membership in some professional organizations relevant to his subject and area of specialty.
Teacher should be committed to students and maintain professional relations with students. Share responsibilities and prove themselves as successful facilitators of learning for the learners placed under their guidance and supervision. The teacher who is committed to the profession has more efficacy, job satisfaction and high competences. The committed teacher strives more for better performance and keeps abreast with latest technologies which can be useful in class room instruction for teaching learning material. It is on this foundation that this study aims to examine secondary school teachers’ commitment in teaching profession.

This might not have created a motivation among respondents not to take a chance to give opinions.
Time Limitation:
There are two types of time limitation faced during the study. The study was done for a period of four weeks. Hence the results would reflect the impact of the time constraint. The insights of the employees were observed during the period of study. A more extensive study conducted over a larger time period or during a special period of time like when there were higher numbers of issues, can include insights from employees over a broader time period and can bring in further depth into the research.
1.8 Definition of Terms
